I have wanted a pair of Sloggers for a while now and finally bought myself a pair. I've always bought the cheap vinyl boots at Tractor Supply, but they are a pain to put on sometimes. I can slide into my sloggers and don't look as redneck when I wear them with shorts. Granny likes them too, but thankfully they are a size too small or she told me she would take them from me. Aren't these the cutest? I have worn them in the chicken coop, to the pond and just traipsing around the backyard. You can thank me for not posting the pic of them on my feet--my white legs would have blinded you the rest of the day!
I started decorating Granny's porch last fall when I found an old wagon in the barn. I have been changing out the decor every season and find myself looking forward to it! It helps that I saved these fun boards from the barn demo because I can add something to it each season/month as well. After Easter, I went with a lemon and lavender theme and lots of flowers. When we get back from Texas, I will be changing it out for a patriotic theme with watermelons. I'm going to bring the wagon back out and hopefully paint some stumps to look like watermelons. We'll see how much I actually do--my eyes are bigger than my crafting ability these days. Do you decorate your porch for each season? Also, where have you seen cute watermelon stuff? I've got the patriotic covered, but need to find some more watermelon things for my tiered tray.
Y'ALL! Last summer, I messaged my friend Patty to ask her to pray for me because I was looking for a job. I told her that I might actually make the time now to write the book I told her I wanted to write several years before. She invited me to a writer's group she started that met via zoom a few times a month. I was hooked the first time I attended, but fall was a bit crazy with Gran so I wasn't able to be consistent until the beginning of this year.
The way it works is that a couple of people share each time and everyone else gives feedback. I have not only gained a ton of confidence in my writing, I have learned SO much about giving a valuable critique. And the best part of this group? Everyone is FOR each other! There's not any competition--we are all genuinely excited when something good happens to another. I am reading a children's story I wrote this weekend and can't wait to hear their thoughts!
I know y'all are going to ask me to stop posting pics soon--I feel like I flood my social media with them. But I just can't get enough! This morning, I was exhausted, but when I opened my eyes and saw the pink sky, I hopped up out of bed to race out and snap some photos. Seeing a sunrise or a sunset reminds me of God's love--I can't look at them without seeing His artist's hand all over it. The song Wonderful Maker goes through my head every time I see one:
You made the world and saw that it was good.
You sent your only Son for you are good.
What a wonderful Maker, what a wonderful Savior
How majestic your whisper, how humble your love
What a wonderful God
